SPOILER AHEAD!

I actually hoped Mikko and MC would...Just...Istg. This ending broke me. I'm not sure if there are multiple endings to Mikko's route but in my play-through, I thought Mikko actually was starting to like the MC again. But to no avail. He fucked the MC up and dropped some mean words, and MC just went back to the capital. I wish there would be a happy ending for Mikko.
Mikko endings:
(spoiler)
The Bad One, aka Knocking On The Door
The Worse One, aka Happy Fun Time With Kinky Accessories <== You are here
THE WORST ONE, aka Flower Field
But hey, at least you saw it after it got changed a little. Initially, it was very ambiguous whether Arvo even survives it. I personally think Keo shouldn't have changed that and should have leaned heavily into the unintended but entertaining maniacal Mikko Route - would have made for a fun Halloween update.
To get a slightly less horrible ending, make sure to always pick Mikko events(Only some events are important, but it's easier to play all of them). It's the canon one and the one that's going to have a continuation in further updates, unlike the other two.
To get a much more horrible ending, follow Mikko's route, but go back to your room after you find the key. I warned you though, it's THE WORST ONE.
Thank you so much for the help! I got Knocking On The Door last night. I was much happier with that 😂😂. But I await the arrival of the Messiah. The Mikko happy ending. :) Genuinely. I feel like this route hit me harder than the VN Echo. Again. Thank you for shedding some light on this. I also got into Devons route rn.
You're welcome!
Devon's route is probably the most realistic one in what's already a very down to earth VN. It's how most young people's first serious romance goes - they just get bothered about it and keep seeking the company of their crush afraid to make a move.
I personally love all of them, except maybe Bjorn's, but that's because it has events that feel like they should be a choice, yet they are not.
Still, I recommend you to play all of them(and don't forget the Klaus route like I did!), as each is very interesting in its own way. Though I definitely recommend you play Lake's last, as it's soul bleach because of how sweet it is, and you're going to need that after some routes.
